Mac interacting with random ip's

So i recently downloaded Private Eye and figured out that different programs on my computer are sending information out to random ip's. I tracked some of them as having to do with internet related companies like hawking tech and akamai technologies. here is a screenshot of the programs sending out information.
if anyone explain to me what this means it would be very helpful.

Akamai Technologies provides content-delivery services for a large number of other companies and websites. That is, instead of SomeCompany providing a URL to a somecompany.com server, it provides URLs to an akamai server that hosts SomeCompany's web content.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies

When I google for Hawking Tech, the first search result is a wireless router manufacturer. Could that be your router manufacturer?

I have seen ocspd getting various files, and it will do so at what I consider inopportune times. But that's just me. YMMV.

AFAICT, ocspd is not "sending" information, but I could be wrong. It's arguable that the act of fetching CRLs for OCSP purposes will leak information about your computer, such as its current externally visible IP-address. If you're concerned about this (or other possible information leaks), you need to get more details on what URL is being fetched.
